THE season of swapping presents is
drawing near. The old time custom of
giving to those WHO could give naught but
thanks and gratitude in return had much
to commend it.
If the theft" of the pocket-boo was, in
every instance, commensurate with the
promptings of the heart, what a glorious
Christmas it would be for the poor!

Steam Heated Cars

To the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul.
railway belongs the credit for first having
brought the matter of steam-heating ca7s
into general notice; to that company be-
longs the credit of being the first western
road which has brought its experiments
to successful issue, and to that company
the travelling public will be indebted for
its taking the initiative in equipping it's
through trains with this comfort-produc-
ing and life-saving apparatus.
The steam is taken direct from tne
boiler of the locomotive through regn-
lating valve, then passes through safe
ty valve under the cab, which only al
lows low pressure steam to pass through
the heating pipes and connections in the
cars. A direct line of pipe is laid under
each car and brought up to the top and
edge of the platform, where hose connee-
tions and automatic couplings are placed
for passing from one Car to another. This
direct pipe is properly covered to prevent
condensation, and is tapped by an upright
pipe which communicates with radiator
piping along inside of the car for tbs
heating surface. After steam accom-
pishes heating in these pipes the con-
densed water resulting from it runs freely
down the Incline of the pipes and is al
lowed to escape under the car by "steam
expansion traps" In addition to this
the company has made provision for pro-
perly ventilating the cars by an arrange
ment of indirect beating" radiators, very
similar to stacks under floors in houses
heated by steam, SO that the motion Of
the train forces large current of heated
fresh air into the cars.

JUN EAU.

The County Board Of Supervisors ad-
journed on Friday morning after session
of thirteen days last month and two days
last spring, being the utmost limit allow
ed by the law. There is.no possible ne
cessity for spring session, and no good
reason why the work at the annual ses-
sion could not be all completed in eight
or ten days, but per diem of So, and a
chance to have "a good time with the
boys is quite an inducement to prolong
the session to the utmost limit.
The county tax to be raised this year is
$6S, 900, or $18 SOC more than that of last
year. The increase is owing mainly 20
the desire on the part Of the "bosses'' to
make the tax as high as possible this year
in order TO deprive the present county Of
ticers OF any credit by reducing taxes, and
the "bridge steal. of 81 500, and payment
of $4,000 bond and interest which the
board of 1886 purPosely omitted to pay
last year, explain this; in addition the
appropriations of $4,000 for steam heat
ing apparatus III the Court House; $4,000
for the support. of INDECENT soldiers and
their families, under the provisions of the
law passed last winter, and 81 400 addi-
tional printing expenses, for the expert
ment of letting the printing to the lowest
bidder, further explain the increase.
The bridge steap' yearly perpetrated
in this county is becoming an abominable
nuisance TO the taxpayers, and it is prob
able that an effort will be made through
the courts to abolish it. Noregard what
ever is paid to the provisions Of the law
governing county aid to towns for bridges;
the money is voted on the mere petition
of the town board, and a com bination is
formed between a sufficient number OF
members Of the board to carry the matter
through, and in majority of cases the
money is probably never used for the pur-
poses for which it is voted, but is employ
ed as corruption fund to buy up dele
gates and set up the beer for "ring" can
didates.
The bosses have agreed upon the fol-
lowing county ticket for next fall: Sheriff,

W. Morse, and orders have been issued to
the lieutenants to see that this ticket is
nominated In addition it is proposed to
nominate Judge Sloan for congress in or
der that S. W. Lamoreux may be elected
circuit judge. The ticket is weak one,
containing the names OF two candidates,
who were ingloriously defeated last fall,
and the name of at least one of whose
supremacy as comfy boss the people
have got thoroughly tired. w.
